Hobby House

Good Morning

Today I would like to share with you two more cards I have made using the Hobby House toppers.I love using toppers when Mr Mojo has gone walkies or I need a card in a hurry and don't have time to sit and colour in.

 This first card is a 6x6" card base. 
This was cut from a 12x12" sheet of green Bazzill.
With the remainder of the sheet, I used it to mat and layer the topper and papers.
The papers came as a free gift in a magazine some time ago.
(I think they are from the Prima Botanical collection)
Some small gems and a quick understated card. 
Ideal for a friend who is not well, or under the weather!

This next card is also a 6x6" card base cut from a 12x12" sheet of Bazzill.
The papers are from a Forever Friends new Baby stack. 
Matted onto the same card stock as the base.
Some small gems in the corners and there you have it.

Thanks for stopping by. 
I appreciate all comments you may have on my creations.

Another From me

Good Morning

Hopefully this post will be seen on Friday 30th May. I am off to the Great British Craft Show at Bolton today with a wonderful crafty friend. We are doing four workshops today, and hopefully learn lots of new fabby things.

My cards today are made using Hobby House toppers. As I have two boys I thought it would be an idea to make some for thier age group, Teenage boys are so difficult to make cards for.

 This first card is a 6x6" card base.
I have used Red and Blue bazzil card stock for the matting and layering.
Three red pearls top left nad bottom right.
A Red button with natural twine threaded through.
And some knotted red ribbon finifh this card off.
Ideal for those boys you know who love speed!

This second card was made with a 7x5" card base.
Again I just stuck to Red and Blue card for matting and layering.
Three buttons at the top right hand corner.
One larger button with some more twine at the bottom.

A card from me

Good Morning Bloggers

Again, I have been away for a while, sorry about that. Life has been hectic and then there was work! Anyway, things are on the up again. I start a new job next week, and I think this is going to be that strt of something wonderful.
I finished my old job on Tuesday so spent yesterday trying to find my mojo! I started off by using some Hobby House toppers and just making cards with them, then one thing led to another and before I knew it I had made some cards and a small 'Prom Book' ready for my friends Daughters prom!

So today I am going to showcase the last card I made yesterday.


I have used a 7x5" card blank.
The papers are some which I have had laying around for a while.
This is a Lili of the Valley Stamped image which has been coloured in with promarkers. 
It was then die cut and then embossed and inked.
The flowers were die cut using a Marianne Die and then layered up.

I would like to enter this card into this weeks Cutie Pie Challenge,
and also this months challenge at Crafty Little Faries.
